This last week we have enjoyed 2 sessions at All Souls and St Martins learning to love our microphones, and learning to love reading out loud for others in our services.
Charles Lewis from Trinity Benefice guided us through some principles of using the microphone systems to their best advantage, after which a number of us took it in turns to read first a bible passage, and then a passage from the Little Prince. We discussed how it felt and the plusses and challenges we all experienced together. The Little Prince in particular was a challenge to us, but we stuck with it and explored what it might be like to read the bible with more of a story like voice register.
Much was learnt and our thanks go to Charles for guiding our time together.
This was the first of a series of occasional learning sessions where we can gather together and figure out just how does that task in church work out, and maybe give it a go ourselves. Look out for dates when other events come along.
